Rise to the Occasion and Celebrate Sourdough September
As the aroma of freshly baked bread drifts through the iconic Borough Market, Bread Ahead, the beloved artisan bakery and baking school is marking another Sourdough September in style. Known for their great-tasting, classic bakes, Bread Ahead has grown from humble beginnings with just three products – sourdough bread, brownies, and amaretti biscuits – into a baking destination offering over 40 in-person and online workshops, inspiring bakers of all levels across the globe.
From this September on, Bread Ahead is launching Sourdough Starter School – short, hands-on workshops designed for complete beginners and baking maestros alike. Participants will learn essential techniques for making sourdough, create their own starter to take home, and leave with a bag of flour, dough scraper, and simple step-by-step instructions to nurture it into a baking-ready starter of their own.
“Sourdough has always been at the heart of Bread Ahead from the very beginning. It’s a fundamental part of our journey,” says Bread Ahead founder Matthew Jones. “Sourdough September is a wonderful opportunity to explore the art of sourdough baking. At Bread Ahead, we cherish the simplicity of high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. These new classes give everyone – whether they’re completely new to baking or already passionate about it – the chance to begin or deepen their own sourdough story.”
